Abstract

Disclosed by the present application are a data transmission method, device and apparatus, the method comprising: a terminal transmitting data to a base station by means of normal resources; when the base station adjusts the configuration of the normal resources so that the terminal transmits data when the normal resources are unavailable, or when the normal resources cannot complete a configured number of repeated transmissions, data is transmitted to the base station on potential resources, wherein the normal resources and the potential resources are resources used for transmitting data which are semi-statically configured for the terminal by the base station; and when the normal resources are unavailable and the potential resources do not serve as a third type of resource for other terminals, the base station and the terminal determine a potential resource for transmitting data that needs to be used according to the same mode.

 wherein: 
 the normal resources and the potential resources are resources which are used for data transmission and semi-statically configured for the terminal by the base station, the potential resources are also a third type of resources between the base station and other terminals, and the third type of resources refers to resources dynamically scheduled by the base station to the other terminals; and in response to that the normal resources are unavailable and the potential resources are not used by other terminals as the third type of resources, the terminal determines the potential resources to be used for data transmission in a same manner as the base station. 
 
     
     
       2. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the normal resources are resources configured by explicit signaling and enabled by explicit/implicit signaling; and/or 
 the potential resources are resources configured by explicit/implicit signaling and/or automatically enabled. 
 
     
     
       3. The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the potential resources are configured according to N adjacent resources in a resource configured period behind the normal resources in the resource configured period in response to that the potential resources are configured by implicit signaling, wherein N is a positive integer. 
     
     
       4. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the potential resources of a previous min {M, J} resource units are used for data transmission, in response to that transmitting on the potential resources, the normal resources have K resource units, M normal resources among the normal resources are unavailable, and J potential resources among the potential resources are available, namely, the potential resources are not used as the third type of resources of the other terminals. 
     
     
       5. The method according to  claim 4 , wherein each of the resource units is a subframe, a slot, or a mini-slot. 
     
     
       6. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) is between the potential resources and the normal resources; or 
 time-division multiplexing (TDM) is between the potential resources and the normal resources; or 
 FDM is between a part of the potential resources and the normal resources, and TDM is between the other part of the potential resources and the normal resources. 
 
     
     
       7. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein before the transmitting, by the terminal, the data to the base station on one or more potential resources, the method further comprises:
 determining, by the terminal, the potential resources through a pattern, wherein the pattern is determined according to a position of a normal transmission opportunity (TO) occupied by a first transmission of the data and/or a position of the normal resources adjusted by the base station. 
 
     
     
       8. The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the pattern is specified by a protocol, or configured to the terminal by the base station. 
     
     
       9. The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the potential resources are in a same configured period as the normal TO occupied by the first transmission of the data. 
     
     
       10. The method according to  claim 7 , wherein a time interval between a time position of the normal TO occupied by the first transmission of the data and a time position of a first potential resource is larger than K2, and K2 is a predetermined value. 
     
     
       11. A terminal, comprising:
 a processor configured to read a program in a memory to: 
 process data according to requirements of a transceiver; and 
 the transceiver configured to receive and transmit the data under control of the processor, and configured to: 
 transmit the data to a base station on one or more normal resources; and 
 transmit the data to the base station on one or more potential resources, in response to that the base station adjusts a configuration for the normal resources and thus the normal resources are unable to be used for data transmission, or in response to that repeated transmissions with a configured quantity is unable to be completed on the normal resources; 
 wherein the normal resources and the potential resources are resources which are used for data transmission and semi-statically configured for the terminal by the base station, and the potential resources are also resources between the base station and other terminals; and in response to that the normal resources are unavailable and the potential resources are not used by other terminals as a third type of resources, the base station and the terminal determine the potential resources to be used for data transmission in the same manner, and the third type of resources refers to resources dynamically scheduled by the base station to the other terminals.
